Talk:NS Class 1600

Reizigers
The part about the renumbering of the NS Reizigers loco's is partly wrong. The 1637 wasn't painted red as an advertisement for Heineken (Heineken's colour is green, so using red doesn't make any sence). Red was the colour of Railion's predecessor named NS Cargo. The loco was painted in this colour in early 1999 to show the new NS Cargo colour scheme. (picture here). In september '99 the Heineken advertisement was added because Heineken lauched it's new green beer crates. During september '99 the 1637 drove across the Netherlands with the so called "Heineken Express" (picture can be seen here).

Also, the text does mention that some of the NS Cargo/Railion 1600 were returned to NS Reizigers, but it doesn't mention that the 1637 was one of them, and that after renumbering it to 1837 the loco still had the red colours for some time (only the number was different and the text "NS Cargo" was removed.) Somewhere in 2004 the 1837 got back it's old yellow colour with two large NS logo's. Dre Odz (talk) 10:58, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
